Specifies whether the provider returns objects that reside in system schemas including guest, sys, INFORMATION_SCHEMA, and any schema whose name begins with db_.

Data Type

bool

Default Value

true

Remarks

When this property is set to true, system-schema tables and views appear in metadata queries and can be selected or queried just like user tables.

When this property is set to false, the driver filters those objects out of metadata results. Applications that enumerate schemas or tables see only user-defined objects.

This property is helpful when you want to declutter design-time metadata lists. For example, in business intelligence tools that pull every schema or when you need to expose system objects for advanced diagnostics.
